READ THIS ok since very young before the age of 4 i have had no vision in my left eye. i hate eye dr.s more than dentists. due to the fact i have been to every eye specialist practically in the state of n.y and in the Stanton and Harrisonburg and also newman and blackstock all in the area in va i have been seen here locally by eye care n surgery . i gave up on specialists .they all had traumatic things to try.:( so i been at wall mart n national optical now for a few years. i do not care about any negative review on here because this eye dr .brought tears to my eyes today i sat in his office and cried as he gave me a hug to tell me it was ok. in hundreds of specialists n thousands of eye apts. in my life . patches special eye glasses traumas. this man put a contact lens in an eye i see nothing out of but light and i can see out of it.for the first time. now this is a 2 part review because at the strongest strength in office i do not see clear out of it but i can see figures colors shape . he is ordering a different much higher strength to try to see if he can do what no dr has ever been able to do or thought to do ! and give me sight. if this works i will add a part 2 to this review. it was most weird almost scary to the point i literally cried because it was a sensation my body never saw! i am in shock that this regular eye dr thought trying what no others thought possible. do not go by negative reviews because i believe you must see for your self. i have never been so impressed! thank you dr shelton.i had lost any hope but today was the first day i ever thought mabye they have all made a mistake and should have tried the most obvious! if this dr. can do what after today i think he may be able to it is a mirical because i have struggled to function in life and work for 42 years . some things are so hard to do . others i have mastred because a lot of people are shocked when they know i have no vision in my left eye and am legally blind in my right. and i have struggled to be normal my whole life with this. none of these dr.s can say anything i have said is untrue. because it is 100% the truth i am not an employee or a fake person i live here in roanoke. excited waiting on lense . update this soon! :) carry

I wasn't aware this dr had a reputation, but I can certainly see why. The visit was just awkward. I can't say he's a bad doctor, but I never felt at ease there. Then he kept pushing Walmart Brand's Equate at me, which for a lower cost- why not? But then when I had issues, I ended up having to call the office 2x to get a simple answer which I did not like not to mention, I had someone else's name in the folder that they gave me after my visit which is major HIPAA. Would not recommend.

There is a reason this guy keeps changing his office location - trying to stay one step ahead of his bad reputation. Ask at Sears Optical about him (one of his former offices is right there) - buyer beware!
